Abstract—The population growth in Kepanjen District leads
to the waste volume increase. Due to the fact that the landfill in
this area is approaching its maximum capacity, the local
government needs to find out other alternatives to treat the
waste. This article proposes one sort of solutions to prolong the
landfill’s age through waste minimization involving community
participation. Therefore, waste reduction through waste bank
has been initiated in Kepanjen District. The primary survey in
form of deep interview with related stakeholders has been
conducted to gain the data used for community participation
analysis. The output of community participation analysis is the
level of community participation. The assessment of
participation level is used five indicators of participation rate
determined by local government. Afterwards, scenario
approach is used. The scenario is made based on the level of
participation in Kepanjen District. The result showed that
Kepanjen District has three kind of participation rate which are
low, medium, and high participation. Consequently, the
scenarios proposed are pessimist scenario, fair scenario, and
optimist scenario for low, medium, and high participation
respectively. Pessimist scenario focuses on avoiding the
community to do open burning causing air pollution and health
injury. Meanwhile, the fair scenario starts to introduce the
institution to the community to conduct the capacity building of
the community in waste separation. The optimist scenario
proposes the implementation of waste bank involving the
community.
